Bombing Yemen: Signalgate Deserves to Be a Major Scandal

But the attack on the Yemenian civilians discussed by the unfortunate conspirators are discussed in their private chat – it is even more shame – although the press has not paid much attention.

SignalGate captured the air, television news, radio, computer screens, news ribbons, social media and more. This is not surprising – it was a huge violation of the most basic rules of the intelligence community: you do not talk about goals with anyone who should not know; You do not spill the times and plans for the following attacks, and you do not talk about military things at the services of commercial messages in the informal chat group with a bunch of state directors-and invite a famous journalist to join. And you never hold official government meetings in the ComMS system that deletes the record in four weeks, so the National Archives, where each meeting should be to complete, never knows it.

Yes, yes, the violation of the intelligence rules was a really big deal. One or two heads can ride – and perhaps it will soon be wrapped up with an even more incompetent scandal.

But the biggest threat – it has already led to the loss of real life – is ignored. And this is a threat to the lives of Yemeni people – who, how many children were, we still do not know – killed by American bombs across the poor nation in the Arab world.

The American bombing of Yemen-always called the “bombing of the Iran’s rebels” to avoid recognition that, as in Gaza, bombs are submitted to civilian infrastructure, and civilians are already facing destructive hunger undertake Under the Biden administration in January 2024. As in Israel, the bombing of gases, US bombs, drones, missile strikes sometimes managed to kill a man who was part of the Huti military wing – officially known as Ansar Allah – or destroyed some military equipment. But, as a result of Israel’s attack on gas, Yemen bombarded in the US – in major cities, including the Sana capital, Hodaida Port and many other cities where ordinary Yemens live. And those US bombs killed these ordinary Yemen.

Guta started their attacks on the support of the Palestinians in Gaza, hoping to divert Israeli forces from the gas attack. They introduced a military -marine blockade in the Red Sea, aimed at Israeli ships, and keeping other commercial courts – either from Israel’s allies, or it is believed that weapons are either related to it from Israel – from Israeli ports and in some cases. The US attacks on Yemen said they respond to the Hussite blockade – but the world economic expenses that arose as a result of the blockade did not convince the Baden administration to stop the inclusion of Israel’s attack. In fact, when Israel and Hamas agreed to cease fire on January 19, 2025, Guta also adopted an agreement and stopped their attacks.

Current Issue

This ceasefire lasted six weeks, but then, having rejected the scheduled second stage, Israel will develop its genocidal campaign against the gas. March 2, Tel -said ordered a complete blockadeBy disconnecting all humanitarian aid to 2 million in gas, still suffers from the consequences of the deadly bombing, against the background of constant lack of water, food, fuel and much more, despite the help that are allowed in January-February. The children were already dying from hypothermia, UNICEF reportsAnd thousands were still at risk when a new blockade was imposed. Lack of water, food, shelter and medical care again became interested.

Five days, treatment New blockade as a violation of Israel From the ceasefire, the military leader Huti said that if Israel did not finish the blockade and allow trucks to return, his forces will resume attacks on Israeli ships. And March 11 they announced that they will restore hostilities against Israeli ships.

But Guta did not really restart their attacks. When the US resumed Yemen’s bombing on March 15, there was no hut attack on any ships in a few months. Referring to multiple Pentagon officials, Reported about the military post What “the last attack by Huti they knew happened in December – months ago and before President Donald Trump even took office.”

At the same time, US strikes resumed, Israel continued its attacks on Yemen, bombing numerous sites, including Sana Airport, the West Coast ports, which are crucial to attract the impoverished population and power plant. And Prime Minister Netanyahu boasted that Israel was “Just start the work“

What returns us to signal chat on March 15 among the most high -ranking US intelligence, political and military officials who threw ideas about how to explain and justify new US military attacks that had no legitimate self -defense requirements, lacking any accounting of diplomatic alternatives Yemen, even performed.

In the early days of the updated attack, according to Yemensky Data Project53 people were killed – four of them children. As the Yemeni Academician and the activist The width of al-ademi Speaking: “With all the noise about the signal leak, anyone in Congress or the media is concerned that the bombing of Yemeni and Yemen’s infrastructure is unconstitutional?

Apparently no. Of course, no one is on the signal thread. Organizer call Michael Waltz boasted This is “the first target – their main missile guy – we had a positive identifier that he entered the building of his girlfriend, and she has fallen apart.” No one asked if the girl was also killed, or her family or neighbors were crushed in the constipation of her building. Were they among the 53 known dead in these early days? If so, the thread is a sign of war crime.

And, seemingly, no one with many Congress -people (mostly Democrats), swamps (all strips), former reconnaissance and military operatives and too many journalists, indignant at the signal call, pays great attention to Yemenis under the bombs. The signal itself was very concerned about how to sell an updated bomber company. As Vice -President JD Vance He said to them, “Nobody knows who the goose, and so we will need to remain focused on: 1) Biden failed and 2) financed Iran.”

Part of the “Biden failed” is just an excuse. Iran’s threat is almost certainly the main cause of Washington’s blast. Two days in updated blows on Yemen, Press Secretary of Pentagon Sean Punel The bombing raids are described as part of the “new direction” for the White House. “I think President Trump made it clear that he said Iran,” he said.

Although they had previously hinted at Willingness to negotiate with Iran For his civic nuclear energy program, Trump’s “maximum pressure” policy was dominant, and with new blows again Yemen gave out directly threats against Iran. On the same day when the US resumed, he wrote:

To Iran: Supporting Huti terrorists should end immediately! Do not threaten the American people, their president, who has received one of the largest mandates in the history of the president or worldwide. If you do it, be careful because America will prosecute and, we will not be pleased with it!

Right now, according to A representative of Yemen UNICEFTalking in Geneva on March 25, Yemenis suffers “one of the worst persistent humanitarian crises in the world – a crisis defined by hunger, deprivation, and now an alarming escalation.” The escalation of the consequence of Trump’s decision “not to be good”.

The hard and chaotic second term Donald Trump is just beginning. In the first month, Trump’s office and his Like -Elon Musk (or this is the opposite?) Proved that nothing is safe from sacrifice at the altar without checking strength and wealth.
